Stochastic Models in Reliability

Abstract

There were two principal accomplishments during the grant period. The first gives a new more effective reordering role for processing jobs (that may not complete) on a multiprocessor system. This is shown to improve on the previously known MF (move to front) and MB (move to back) ordering rules. The other accomplishment was a new variance reduction method in simulation, using 'random hazards' in a Markov process.
